​

Our Commitment to Accessibility

 

At Compassion In Action & Neighbors Loving Neighbors, we are committed to ensuring that our programs, services, and digital platforms are accessible to everyone — including people with disabilities.

​

We believe in inclusion and equal access for all members of our community. Our goal is to make our website and in-person food distribution services usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance.

​

Digital Accessibility

 

We strive to ensure that our website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, or keyboard navigation.

Our ongoing accessibility efforts include:

​

• Regular website scans and reviews to identify and fix accessibility barriers.

• Using clear, simple language and consistent navigation.

• Providing alternative text for images and media.

• Ensuring sufficient color contrast and scalable text.

• Testing form fields and buttons for keyboard and screen reader compatibility.

​

In-Person Accessibility

 

Our food distribution programs and community events are designed to be inclusive and accessible.
Where possible, we:

​

• Offer wheelchair-accessible entry and service areas.

• Provide assistance for those who need help carrying food or supplies.

• Strive to accommodate special needs with advance notice.

​

If you require accommodations to participate in our programs, please contact us in advance so we can assist you.

​

Ongoing Improvements

We are continually working to improve accessibility across all areas of our organization.
If you experience any difficulty accessing our website, materials, or events, we encourage you to let us know right away so we can make the necessary updates.
